seperate thread required I feel ...

maybe ultraburner knows something that the website doesn't ? worth a phone call tomorrow ? Though might be a sign from above that you are not to carry out work on Monday ?

I have had nothing but excellent customer service from Lidl's - the Peckham one . The staff are friendly,helpful and efficient . What examples are there of poor customer service there ?

That's interesting JohnL ,thanks . I like to be familar with the RULES. Even though that doesn't affect whether they'll be followed . Sue ,I think the red request stops are on the way out .I'm sure there's none from the top of Barry Rd down to the bottom of Rye Lane .

I wonder if it's just the stops serving the 12/197 that have lost the red sign and request lettering ?

That's what I've learnt to do nxjen. I just feel we. should. have. been. told!

As far as I can see there aren't any request stops now . Have a look a let me know if you agree .

So if you're at a bus stop do you always have to stick your arm out to get the bus to stop ? I stupidly forgot the other day ( old habits ) and watched unhappily as the bus sailed past . Any bus drivers care to enlighten me ?

I'm inclined to agree with nxjen .Maybe Christmas and lack of money = desperate to earn but no idea how to go about it .

I'd go for beach diluted in hot water .Might make the paving stones a little lighter but no more than much elbow grease and scrubbing would . I'm not very up on the horrors of bleach from an eco point of view but possibly use white vinegar if this is a concern .

Thanks Sue .I was asking for a friend in Bristol who's doing her floorboards . But not doing the internet ,or only doing it through me !

Zebedee - having had a quick look at this ,I'm wondering why no measurements were quoted to substantiate the planning officer's conclusion that the development would not result in a loss of less than 50% of what they call amenity space which they equate with the rear garden . And ,not that it would help your case but I thought it was 50% of land around the orginal house ? I share your concern about the lack of knowledge /professionalism at these meetings .

Oh ,thanks for mentioning that!

Thank you guys . I'm tending towards Osmo .

Lovely ,I knew I'd get help on here ! Friend says she wants to keep them looking natural but "sort of enriched " .So I'm thinking she wants to achieve some kind of patina ( but not shiny ) added back .If that makes any sense . Ultra - does that give a glossy finish ? red devil - interesting .That was one of the ones that stood out for me when I googled .

Asking for a friend .She wants something that sinks in rather than a paint or varnish that goes on top . Some kind of oil ? Have had a quick google and there's an awful lot to choose from - any recommendations ? Floors are in kitchen and bathroom ,no small children or toys or pets .

Could be ...? But not really sunny today . And never seen it before .Though guess reduced tree canopy might be partly a factor .

Sorry curious/nosey .Besides it does my head in every time I look out of window or stand doing washing up . Wrong position for Star of Bethleham ?

oh ,good points rendel! Never even considered the chefs and bottlewashers .I think I'll just stop eating out .

In such cases does anyone know how that service charge is used ? Would it be divied up between waiting staff or go direct to owners ?

I imagine closed as crowd control . Peckham Rye station had notices up yesterday advising they would close if necessary to prevent dangerous overcrowding .

Denmark Hill/Peckham Rye to Victoria is SouthEastern . So no doubt rammed but running . http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/documents/content/SET%20Network%20Map.pdf

Thank you Taper .
